Up front, I find this stuff fascinating, but I also have the attention level of a frog. It's hard to comprehend theories that just don't make any sense in a visible world.
Take this show that was on last night. The Discovery Science channel. My wife & I were carrying on when I started noticing things people in the show were saying about gravity. A woman, a Harvard Scientist/Professor thingie type person. She was explaining, rather poorly in my never to be humble opinion, why gravity, is the weakest force we have. The problem isn't gravity is exceptionaly weak, it's simply that we're getting the leftovers of a much stronger force.
Yep, using what will later be explained as M Theory (M=Membrane or Magic), she tries to explain that we are living in one of an innumerable parallel multiverses. A leak or crossover matter or some damned thing, allows gravity from a close proximity (as they all are, it turns out) universe to leak into our universe. It's strong enough to hold planets in alignment & it keeps our boots on the ground but a weak force, such as magnetism, can easily overpower what should be a stronger force.
They then go on to talk about M Theory. By the time I notice this show, it's :20 til the hour so what I get is hazy, at best.
M Theory is a similar theory to String Theory except it adds the 11th dimension. Shit fire, I still can't figure out String theories 5th - 10th dimesions. Now they expect me to belive we're living in a Gene Roddenberry tale, complete with parallel universes, some of which have different rules for physics. These are so close to ours they are measured in ten thousandths inch.
Going back to the Big Bang, one theory says that 2 of these universes collided, presenting a cause for the Singularity. Their "flapping" membranes then overlapped, creating matter in which to work.
There was talk about how, adding the the 11th dimension to equations, virtually all of the difficult, unsolvable or impossible physics problems suddenly came together & made sense. Like Magic.
So, has anyone heard of these (this) theories? I did a half assed job describing what I couldn't believe I was hearing, but hopefully it was well enough to get some smarter peoples take. It sounded to me like an age old problem in science. Assume the result & find a formula to fit it. Even if there is no physical evidence proving the existence of a multiverse, it's now being used to solve mathematical equations. It seems too convenient to be plausible. Help a scientific cripple out. What have I missed?
